I also took one of the Benaventes in stock to a gig the other day, it did a wonderful job. Definitely a smokin' bass!- too bad they are both sold.. :(.. oh.....
I'm looking to get a Vortex-5 (or a SC-5). I listened to some sound files and seen some nice painted Vortexes too. Problem is, I can't tell if they are ash or...
Most of the Benavente's are Alder or Mahogany bodies. Alder will be lighter then most any of the other woods and alder also has a very even tone. Swamp ash is...
I own an alder SC-5, 2 alder Vortex fretted basses and an ash Vortex fretted, and they all sound GREAT, though somewhat different! The lighest in weight is the...

I'll answer, but also look for Keiths answer. I know he told me he likes the smaller body and feel of the 219B 4 string he has...I guess this is why he has...
Curious thing. That Vortex 5 bass is drop dead gorgerous. But if memory serves, this is the second time it has been bought and sold in the recent past. No one...
I can help with that, I sold the bass recently only to purchase a Bene SC-5. That is simply a tribute to Chris's fine work. That Vortex is an amazing bass! You...
The bass smokes, I've had it. Its just a matter of someone wanting a Vortex loaded and a BO. Nothing wrong with the bass, its killer! trek5200cs@... wrote:...
I played the bass at rehearsal tonight. The bass truely rips. I cannot say one bad thing about the bass. The dual coil pickups are fantastic. I like them much...
The 219B doesn't appear to be that much smaller, unless it's the pictures. Is the Vortex really that big. What does it compare too in size? What does that...
If you look at a 5 or 6 string 219B you won't notice it being any smaller really, but it is a little more smooth as a neck-through would normally be. Keith...
I use mine primarily with one or the other pickup split and the other in humbucker mode. I've had no noise issues. Single coil pickups are known for their...
